1. Parque Avellaneda
This neighborhood divides the city in two and is a treasure trove. With irregular streets, diagonals, old houses, tower complexes, traditional bodegas, diverse communities, parks, and squares, this area offers a picturesque experience rich in culture and history.
It is home to the city’s third-largest green lung: Parque Dr. Nicolás Avellaneda. Its 30 hectares feature a wide variety of flora and 25 bird species. Still, the park's cultural value is its most interesting aspect. It houses the "Los Olivera" mansion, a 19th-century farmhouse and the only remaining estate in the city, now a contemporary art center. The park also boasts an athletics track at the Avellaneda Sports Center and the city's first swimming pool. The park is like a journey through time, complete with a former dairy farm turned cultural space called Chacra de los Remedios.
Tip: We recommend having lunch at Yiyo el Zeneize, a bodega offering varied and delicious dishes in an area that feels like a museum.
